Bruddah Kimo is back and he’s in rare form.He took a much needed hiatus and went for a spa treatment and shopping spree.He’s back with a new ‘do, new duds and a new attitude.Kimo is back to his old tricks and offering up his shaka to all that pass by.

For those of you that have never met him, he’s been a Bali Hai icon for over thirty years and has been greeting all those who enter Hanalei town.Bruddah Kimo retired here from the east coast where he used to be a fisherman dressed in yellow slickers holding a lantern to help lead people home.

Bali Hai graciously accepted his services, changed out his duds for some local flair and he’s been our “Social Director” ever since.
